PROJECT STEPS

1. You are helping Silver River’s chief engagement specialist create a presentation
   for soft skills workforce training. Start by formatting the presentation as follows:
   a. Change the Theme Colors to Orange to match company branding.
   b. On Slide 1 (“Silver River Career Consultants”), resize the picture to 13.33″
   wide so that it covers the entire width of the slide.
2. On Slide 2 (“Hard Skills vs. Soft Skills”), edit the bulleted lists as follows:
   a. Bold the words “Hard Skills” and “Soft Skills” to draw attention to them.
   b. Change the font size of the words “Hard Skills” and “Soft Skills” to 24
   point.
   c. Delete the unnecessary text “for specific job”.
3. With Slide 2 still displaying, enter the text Ask audience for examples, write
   on flip chart. into the Notes pane.
4. On Slide 3 (“Hard Skills Get You Hired”), italicize the text “Soft Skills” to
   emphasize it.
5. Insert a new Slide 4 using the Section Header layout, and then enter and
   format text to focus the audience’s attention as follows:
   a. Enter Communication as the title.
   b. Enter Increases Productivity as the subtitle.
   c. Underline the words “Increases Productivity”.

6. On Slide 5 (“Why It Matters”), modify the bulleted list text as follows:
   a. Increase the indent of “19% Succeed” by one level.
   b. Decrease the indent of “26% Cannot accept feedback” by one level.
   c. Select all the text in the placeholder, and then change the font color to
   Orange, Accent 1, Darker 25% (5th column, 5th row in the Theme
   Colors palette). (Hint: Before completing Step 11, the color displays as
   Orange. After completing Step 11, the color displays as Blue.)
7. On Slide 6 (“What Is Emotional Intelligence?”), change the slide layout to
   Picture with Caption to adjust the readability of the slide.
8. On Slide 7 (“Forecast: Success”), balance the visual elements in the slide as
   follows:
   a. Apply bullets to the paragraph in the middle content placeholder.
   b. Use the right content placeholder to insert the file
   Support_PPT365_2021_1a_Staff.jpg. (Hint: If necessary, close the
   Design Ideas pane and allow PowerPoint to add automatic alt text.)
   c. Resize the picture to 3″ tall.
9. Move Slide 7 to become the last slide in the presentation, Slide 8.
10. Check the Spelling in the presentation to identify and correct any spelling
    errors.
    a. When PowerPoint finds multiple instances of a misspelled word, accept all
    instances of the suggested spelling change.
    b. When PowerPoint suggests a spelling change from one word to two words,
    ignore the suggested spelling change.
    c. When PowerPoint finds a single instance of a misspelled word, accept the
    instance of the suggested spelling change.
11. You decide to send presentation to Silver River’s marketing department to
    review the branding. Change the theme to Office to simplify the design
    elements.
